Image
I do tend to move on anyway. This is a part of my life, but it doesn't rule my life.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I love theatre - it's where I started - and I've directed a play myself. I'm not sure if I want to direct a film, but certainly, as an actress, I'm always thinking, 'Surely this must be my last film.'

Image
I don't consciously think of how parenthood has changed me but I'm sure it must have.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I am the age that I am and I am trying to do the best with what I got.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I much prefer a natural approach to beauty. You know, Coco Chanel always said to take one thing off before you leave the house, and I think that also applies to makeup.
Cate Blanchett
Image
Inquiry and curiosity is really important in any profession, but definitely in what I do. And in parallel you also need to be confident enough to try things. So it's a tricky thing sometimes to balance those two states.
Cate Blanchett
Image
Don't you find that work, if you love it, is actually really invigorating?
Cate Blanchett
Image
I think you need to have a healthy sense of doubt because I think doubt leads to inquiry.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I love strange choices. I'm always interested in people who depart from what is expected of them and go into new territory.
Cate Blanchett
Image
It's interesting when you get those roles, which seem like nothing on the page, and you kind of subvert them. It's hard to say no.
Cate Blanchett
Image
The notion of fate and destiny is a very Greek concept. Working in the theater you do think a lot about that, because as a storyteller you do think, 'At what point was this always going to happen and what part have I got a hand in being able to change things?'
Cate Blanchett
Image
Onscreen, babies and animals are my inspiration. They're so alive and there and not messed up in the head the way I am.
Cate Blanchett
Image
What you're trying to do as an actor is somehow trick yourself into believing that these words have never been said, and so you've got to discover them for the first time.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I never really think about my gender, first and foremost - until a door is closed to you. Until you can see a parallel opportunity with a man in a similar place in his career and you think, That opportunity is not open to me or my fellow actresses. That's interesting.
Cate Blanchett
Image
When you fall in love with someone, you're not really changing at all. You're really just reliving something that already happened at some point.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I'm partial to a nice cup of vodka. I normally just drink it really simple with a little bit of lemon.
Cate Blanchett
Image
That's why so many people want to play Hamlet: because it's a completely demarked role, and the actor playing it has to be prepared, through the language, to allow the audience to see into who he is.
Cate Blanchett
Image
Mind the gap - it's the distance between life as you dream it and life as it is.
Cate Blanchett
Image
When you go to a concert, part of being there is that you're all hearing the same thing. It's about being in a crowd. If you go to a gig and there are two people there, then it's not the same thing.
Cate Blanchett
Image
I think good theaters are really important. They allow you to exist in a space with other people.
